Abstract :
POWER COMPANIES operating in areas subjected to air-borne contamination have, for many years, been faced with a difficult operating problem. Maintenance of satisfactory operation has required that insulators be cleaned periodically by hand wiping or periodic washing (energized or de-energized). Expensive overinsulation is frequently employed to alleviate partially the effects of surface contamination.
